Constipation, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Bleeding. Had 3 Saltines, Water. Treatment For Symptoms?
Last night I started with constipation with horrible cramping, I ended up vomiting and having diarrhea . As of about 7 this morning, there has been nothing in my system but I keep running to the bathroom and having blood. Not bloody stool , just blood. It is bright red so I know it is fresh blood. I am worried. My stomach is still cramping. I have had 3 saltines and almost finished a 20 oz bottle of water, which tends to cause cramps when it hits my stomach even though it is room temperature. I am scared by passing so much blood.

Hi.
Your problem started with constipation and horrible cramping followed by diarrhea. Did you take any laxative?
Vomiting and diarrhea could have been due to intestinal infection or due to laxatives if you have taken it.
Frank blood in stool is most probably due to ruptured hemorrhoid.
Since you are bleeding and have diarrhea and vomiting I would advise you to consult your Doctor or rush to ER as this can turn out be complicated if not treated early.
They will take the blood and stool sample, carry on ano-proctoscopy to see for piles or go further to see for the cause.
You also need symptomatic and supportive treatment with injections for vomiting, antibiotics, intravenous fluid and electrolytes.
Further management as per the cause found till full recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
